Description

Long-afterglow luminescent organic microsphere, preparation method and application thereof Technical Field
The invention relates to a long-afterglow luminescent organic microsphere, a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to application of the long-afterglow luminescent organic microsphere in an immunochromatography detection technology.
Background
Immunochromatography assay (ICA) or Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) was first used to detect human chorionic gonadotropin, and with the development of labeling technology, has also been widely used in the fields of medical testing, environmental monitoring, food safety, and the like. The immunochromatographic detection technology effectively combines the chromatographic technology and the antigen-antibody immunoreaction technology. In the immunochromatography detection technology, an immunochromatography detection test strip is often used, which has a main structure in which a polyvinyl chloride base plate is used as a support, and a sample pad (such as a glass cellulose membrane), a binding pad (such as a glass cellulose membrane), a nitrocellulose membrane (NC membrane) and a water absorption pad are arranged on the polyvinyl chloride base plate. When the sample flows under the capillary action, the antigen is combined with the probe on the combining pad to form immune complexes, the immune complexes are enriched and trapped on the detecting line (T line) of the NC membrane as the liquid continues to flow, the probe without the immune complexes is trapped by the quality control line (C line), and finally the probe is interpreted by naked eyes or an instrument.
The immunochromatography detection test strip widely used at present mainly comprises a colloidal gold immunochromatography test strip and a fluorescence immunochromatography test strip. The traditional immunochromatography detection technology mainly takes colloidal gold as an output signal, and because the optical density of a colloidal gold probe is insufficient, the detection sensitivity is low, the quantification is difficult, and the requirement of clinical diagnosis cannot be met. Subsequently, fluorescent probes were developed for immunochromatographic detection, with fluorescent dye-based luminescent probes being most widely used. The fluorochrome is usually directly labeled on the antibody or the microsphere coated with the antibody, or embedded in the microsphere to modify the antibody, and the fluorochrome is excited by a light source such as ultraviolet light to emit light. However, during the detection of the luminescence signal, the spontaneous fluorescence signal interference exists in the sample such as blood, and the interference of the optical signal is also generated by the irradiation of the excitation light source, and these adverse factors seriously affect the accuracy and stability of the detection signal.
The long-afterglow luminescent material is a special luminescent material, which can emit light for a long time after the excitation light source is removed. In the prior art, the long-afterglow luminescent material usually has a luminescent life longer than one hundred milliseconds, and has important application value in the fields of biomedicine, life science and the like. At present, commercial long afterglow luminescent materials are inorganic long afterglow luminescent materials such as rare earth or transition metal doped aluminate, silicate, titanate or sulfide. The long-afterglow luminescent material is used as a signal indicating probe to be applied to immunochromatography detection, so that the interference of excitation light and background fluorescence can be avoided. For example, CN105929155A discloses a long afterglow-based immunochromatographic test strip and a detection method thereof, wherein an inorganic long afterglow luminescent material is used, so as to effectively eliminate interference signals and improve the detection sensitivity and the quantitative accuracy of an object to be detected.
These inorganic long persistence luminescent materials based on rare earth or transition metal doping are usually prepared by high temperature solid phase calcination. High temperature solid phase synthesis is the most common and effective production method of the materials, mainly because high temperature is favorable for obtaining better long afterglow luminescence property, and the luminescence property of inorganic long afterglow materials synthesized by other non-high temperature methods is obviously reduced and is difficult to obtain wide application. However, the high-temperature solid-phase reaction conditions are harsh and high in energy consumption, the morphology of the material is difficult to control to be uniform, and the particle size of the material is generally large. Although the material synthesized by the high-temperature solid-phase method can be further reduced in size by means of milling and screening, the emission luminance drastically decreases after the particle size is reduced to the nanometer level (for example, when the particle diameter is less than 1000 nm). For example, if commercial micron-sized inorganic long afterglow powders are ground to the order of 100nm, the luminescence brightness of the microspheres may be reduced by two orders of magnitude.
Therefore, the preparation of the inorganic long-afterglow luminescent microspheres is difficult at present, and the inorganic long-afterglow luminescent microspheres have weak luminescence, so that long-afterglow luminescent signals which are obviously visible to the naked eye are difficult to obtain. The detection of weak signals requires the aid of complex professional equipment, and the effectiveness is limited when applied to immunochromatography.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention provides a long-lasting luminescent organic microsphere with higher brightness and unaffected or even longer afterglow time.
Different from the inorganic long-afterglow luminescent material based on the photophysical process in the prior art, the long-afterglow luminescent material is based on an organic system, and the system introduces photochemical reaction between light energy input and light energy output by utilizing the characteristics of photochemical reaction to organically fuse photophysics and chemistry. In the long-afterglow luminescent material based on the organic system, the luminescent process can involve photochemical interaction among a plurality of chemical substances, wherein the input excitation light energy is finally released in a luminescent form through a series of photochemical energy conversion and metabolic processes, so that the long-afterglow luminescence is realized. Energy conversion and metabolic processes include energy input, energy buffering, energy extraction, energy transfer, and energy release. The original very rapid photon radiation transition process (nanosecond magnitude to microsecond magnitude) is changed through photochemical reaction, energy is slowly released and is finally emitted in the form of light energy, so that the ultra-long light-emitting time (millisecond magnitude to hour magnitude) is obtained, and the limitation of short light-emitting life of organic molecules is greatly improved.
Further, the inventors found that the long afterglow material based on organic system not only can obtain afterglow with longer time and higher brightness, but also some long afterglow luminescent organic materials are particularly suitable for preparing long afterglow luminescent microspheres without losing afterglow brightness and duration, thereby being particularly suitable for immunochromatography detection technology. Even in many cases, the afterglow luminance can be increased to a level visible to the naked eye or above, and the long afterglow luminescence signals can be collected and analyzed by common electronic equipment such as a mobile phone, so that the practicability of the material is greatly improved.
In this application, the term photochemical reaction is a series of chain reactions, including photochemical addition, photo-oxidation, photochemical dissociation, and bond breaking recombination.
In the present application, the terms "long afterglow luminescent organic microsphere", "long afterglow material" and "long afterglow microsphere" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified.

The wavelength of the energy-charging excitation light and the wavelength of the long afterglow luminescence can be respectively adjusted, and the combination scheme of the light absorbing agent and the light emitting agent can be conveniently adjusted and replaced, so that the long afterglow luminescence with rich colors can be efficiently realized.
Preferably, the long afterglow luminescent nano materials according to the present invention do not contain or contain very little inorganic long afterglow constituents such as SrAl2O 4:Eu 2+,Dy 3+For example not more than 0.1% by weight, based on the material mixture.
The grain diameter of the long afterglow luminescent microsphere can reach 5nm to 1000nm, more preferably 50nm to 800nm, and the most preferably nanometer grain diameter is 100nm to 500 nm. In the context of the present invention, the morphology and particle size of all particles of the microspheres can be characterized by taking images by electron microscopy and recording the average diameter of the microspheres from multiple measurements as the particle size. Methods for the characterization of such microspheres are known to the skilled person and can be measured, for example, using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) instruments.
Under the same test conditions, the luminous intensity of the long-afterglow luminous organic microsphere can far exceed the nanoscale commercial inorganic long-afterglow material SrAl2O 4:Eu 2+,Dy 3+The level of (c). In particular, the long-afterglow luminescent organic microspheres can continuously emit light after the excitation light is turned off, and the long-afterglow luminescent time can reach 100ms to 3600s, preferably 500ms to 1200s, more preferably 1s to 600s, and most preferably 2s to 60 s.

The detection objects comprise mycotoxin, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, inflammatory factors, tumor markers and the like.
Light absorber and luminophore
In the present application, light absorbers and light emitters are known per se from the prior art. A light absorber generally refers to a substance that absorbs and captures light energy from a natural or artificial light source. The light absorber can be selected from a range including conventional photosensitizing agents and other energy donor materials. And a luminescent agent generally refers to a substance that is capable of ultimately emitting energy in the form of light energy. The light-emitting agent may be a light-emitting substance that can generate fluorescence, phosphorescence, or the like. Relevant light-emitting molecular groups are known per se and reference may be made, for example, to the reviewed article Nature Methods,2005,2, 910-.
In order to achieve the beneficial effects of the long afterglow materials of the present invention, in particular, for example, improvement of afterglow intensity and time, a clear distinction is made between the two components of the luminescent agent and the light absorbing agent in the compositions of the present invention, so that each component plays a role of absorbing light energy and releasing light energy, respectively, thereby achieving energy utilization paths of energy input, energy buffering and energy output after combination with the specially screened photochemical buffering agent. This also means that, in an advantageous embodiment, a compound which has both a light-absorbing group and a light-emitting group in its structure so that both functions can be performed in the same molecule is not a light-emitting agent or a light-absorbing agent according to the invention and does not give the excellent technical effects of the invention either. On one hand, if the compound is equivalent to packing and binding the light absorbent and the luminescent agent together with the properties of the light absorbent and the luminescent agent, the excitation and the luminescence properties of the long-afterglow material cannot be adjusted respectively, for example, when one compound is selected according to the requirement of actual excitation and energy charging, the luminescence property of the material is fixed at the same time, and vice versa; on the other hand, such a compound is equivalent to fixing the ratio of the light absorber to the luminescent agent to, for example, 1:1, and cannot adjust both the intensity of the light absorption degree and the level of the luminescence level; moreover, the number of materials having both the efficient light absorption function and the efficient light emission function is relatively small, which limits the variety of the long afterglow materials.
In the long afterglow luminescent material according to the present invention, the selection of the light absorbing agent and the luminescent agent has certain regulation standards. In general, compounds having a relatively large molar absorptivity are selected as light absorbers, such as photosensitizers or energy donor dyes; while compounds with higher luminescence quantum efficiencies are selected as luminescent agents, for example luminescent dyes. In addition, the absorption peak of the light absorbent should overlap the emission peak of the light emitting agent as little as possible to avoid the adverse effect of the long afterglow luminescence being attenuated by the absorption of the absorbent.
The inventors of the present application have found that in the long persistence light-emitting organic microsphere according to the present invention, particularly in the aspect of immunochromatography detection technique, from the viewpoint of enhancing the light-emitting luminance or the intensity of the light-emitting signal, the light-absorbing agent and the light-emitting agent should be advantageously different molecular formulae selected fromOr at least one compound of different structure: porphyrin and phthalocyanine dyes, metal complexes, acene compounds, BODIPY compounds, Quantum Dots (QDs), graphene, and derivatives or copolymers of these compounds. However, advantageously, the luminophores used in the present invention are monomeric, non-polymeric compounds and have a molecular weight of less than 10000g mol -1. In the context of the present application, the molecular weight refers to the weight average molecular weight of the compound, which can be determined by means of mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography. An alternative instrument may be, for example, a mass spectrometer, or a liquid-mass spectrometer. Herein, the non-polymeric compound means that the compound structure does not include more than 2 repeating units obtained by polymerization or oligomerization.

Figure PCTCN2019123208-APPB-000019
photochemical buffer agent
In the long persistence luminescent materials according to the present invention, a photochemical buffer is important. The photochemical buffering agent mainly has the function of photochemical energy conversion, and different from a luminescent agent with the main function of luminescence, the buffering agent molecules do not emit light or emit light very weakly, and the molecular structure of the buffering agent does not generally comprise a group or a conjugated structure which can directly emit light. In particular, the photochemical buffering agents according to the invention are distinguished in kind from luminescent or light-absorbing agents, in particular those luminescent or light-absorbing agent substances listed in the invention. The photochemical buffering agent can assist in participating in photochemical reaction, and a bridge for energy exchange and storage is constructed between the luminous agent and the light absorbent. The energy extraction process of transition between energy levels is activated through a reaction step of addition, rearrangement or bond breaking in a photochemical reaction.
The photochemical buffering agents according to the invention are non-polymeric small-molecule compounds with a molecular weight of preferably less than 2000g mol-1More preferably less than 1000g mol-1. Likewise, the non-polymeric compound means that the structure of the buffer compound does not contain more than 2 repeating units obtained by polymerization or oligomerization.
In particular, the inventors have found that certain buffer compounds are particularly suitable for preparing microspheres with stable and good long-lasting luminescence properties. The buffer agent suitable for the long-afterglow luminescent microsphere is selected from the following structural formula (I):
Figure PCTCN2019123208-APPB-000020
wherein, the first and the second end of the pipe are connected with each other,
g and T are heteroatoms selected from O, S, Se and N;
R 1' and R2' and R4' to R8' are each independently selected from H, hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, mercapto, ester, nitro, sulfonic, halogen, amide, or alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino, aryl, aralkyl, heteroaryl or heteroaralkyl having N, O or S, or combinations thereof, having 1 to 50, preferably 1 to 24, carbon atoms, such as 2 to 14, wherein the aryl, aralkyl, heteroaryl or heteroaralkyl optionally has one or more substituents L; and
l is selected from hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, thiol, ester, nitro, sulfonic, halogen, amide, or alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, and alkylamino groups having 1 to 50, preferably 1 to 24, such as 2 to 14, or 6 to 12 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof; and
R 3' is an electron withdrawing group or an aryl group comprising an electron withdrawing group.
In the context of this application, "aryl" means a group or ring formed by an aromatic compound as distinguished from an aliphatic compound, which is directly linked to another structural group or fused to another ring structure by one or more single bonds, and is thus distinguished from a group linked to another structural group by a spacer such as an alkylene or ester group, for example, an "aralkyl" or "aryloxy" or "arylester group".

carrier medium
The long-afterglow organic microsphere of the invention must contain a component D) carrier medium in addition to the component A) light absorber, the component B) luminescent agent and the component C) photochemical buffering agent. Optionally, other processing aids for microsphere preparation or components to further improve the long-lasting glow-emitting effect may be included in addition to these.
According to the invention, the support medium serves to adsorb the particular components A) to C) described above and to facilitate the formation of stable microspheres supporting components A) to C). The inventors of the present application found that the long persistence organic microspheres of the present invention are particularly suitable for satisfying the above requirements, and particularly suitable for the immunochromatography detection technique to prepare the detection test paper, the carrier medium is selected from one or more of styrene polymer microspheres, protein nanomedia and silica microspheres, and more preferably protein-forming nanomedia and styrene polymer microspheres. The silicon microspheres refer to silicon dioxide microspheres. The styrene polymer microspheres include homopolymers of styrene or copolymers thereof with other copolymerizable monomers, such as alkenes, alkynes, or unsaturated carboxylic acids or anhydrides or esters thereof, such as butadiene, maleic anhydride, or (meth) acrylic acid. Silica microspheres and styrene polymer microspheres are known and commercialized in the art, and large-scale microspheres having a uniform particle size can be synthesized by a known method. The protein used to form the protein nanomedia is not particularly limited in theory, but is preferably selected from one or more of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), Human Serum Albumin (HSA), silk fibroin, and casein, and more preferably bovine serum albumin. Methods of forming microspheres from these proteins are also known in the art. Furthermore, it may be preferred to make these support matrix surfaces contain groups such as amino, carboxyl, and/or aldehyde groups, so that the microsphere surfaces of the present invention may be coupled with antibodies or aptamers capable of immunoreacting with a particular antigen using these groups.
Within the scope of the present invention, the skilled person will appreciate that the morphology of the long persistence microspheres of the present invention will in fact depend on the structural morphology of the carrier medium or the processing technique. Thus, it may be advantageous to directly mix a carrier medium that is itself microspheroidal, such as silica microspheres, with other components to form long-lasting microspheres, or to mix a carrier medium that is non-spherical, such as protein nanocarrier media, with other components, and then form long-lasting microspheres by known microsphere formation processes (as shown in the examples). The microspheroidal support medium may comprise a microspheroidal structure as follows: core-shell structures, oil-in-water structures, water-in-oil structures, mesoporous structures, hollow structures, swellable structures, and the like. Generally, as the particle size of the long-afterglow organic microspheres increases, the number or the mass of the components A), B) and C) contained in a single microsphere increases, so that the long-afterglow luminescence enhancement of the single microsphere is beneficial to the high-efficiency detection of a test signal in the immunochromatography process; however, too large a particle size is not favorable for lateral chromatography of the microspheres on a test strip. Therefore, in order to obtain a desired immunochromatographic detection effect, the long-lasting luminescent organic microspheres of the present invention advantageously have a particle size in the range of 5nm to 1000nm, more preferably 50nm to 800nm, most preferably 100nm to 500 nm.
In an advantageous embodiment, the support medium D) is preferably present in an amount of from 30 to 98%, more preferably from 35 to 95%, most preferably from 40 to 90%, for example from 50 to 80%, based on the total mass of the four components a) to D). When the content of the component D) is too high, the luminance of the long-afterglow luminescence decreases, so that effective immunoassay based on the long-afterglow luminescence signal cannot be performed. When the content of the component D is too low, the formed microspheres have poor dispersibility and stability, and even the material cannot form a nano structure, so that the application requirement of immunoassay cannot be met.
In addition, in the long afterglow material composition according to the present invention, adjusting the molar ratio of the light absorber to the luminescent agent within an appropriate range can further improve the effect of long afterglow. In an advantageous embodiment, the molar ratio of light absorber to luminescent agent is in the range of 1:2 to 1:10000, preferably 1:10 to 1:8000 or 1:50 to 1:6000, more preferably 1:100 to 1:4000 or 1:200 to 1: 2000. In an advantageous embodiment, the photochemical buffer may be present in an amount of from 0.1% to 80%, preferably from 0.3% to 60%, more preferably from 0.5% to 40%, most preferably from 1% to 20%, based on the total mass of the three components A) to C) of the material.
When the proportion of the light absorber is too high, there is a disadvantage that the long afterglow luminescence is attenuated by the absorption of the light absorber. When the proportion of the light absorber is too low, the absorbed excitation light energy is relatively limited, and the long afterglow luminescence is also weak. In addition, when the photochemical buffering agent is too small, the energy buffering capacity is weak, so that the performance of the long-afterglow luminescence is adversely affected, for example, the stability and the luminescence brightness of the long-afterglow luminescence are affected. When too much buffering agent is added in the system, collision energy transfer among all components is hindered, and the buffered energy cannot be effectively transmitted out and is dissipated, so that the long-afterglow luminescent performance is reduced.
The long afterglow material can be directly processed from solution to prepare the long afterglow luminescent organic microsphere, thereby being conveniently applied to the field of immunochromatography test strip detection.
The excitation and emission wavelengths of the long afterglow luminescent material system are easy to regulate and control, and the long afterglow luminescent material can cover purple, blue, green, yellow, red and near infrared spectral regions. By selecting the type of light absorber or light emitter and appropriate structural modification as necessary, the operable range of excitation and emission is very wide, so that the combination of actual excitation and emission properties is very rich. Preferably, the adjustable range of the wavelength of the excitation light is 300nm to 1000 nm. In addition, the long afterglow luminescence may be luminescence based on an up-conversion mechanism, luminescence based on a down-conversion mechanism, or luminescence with zero stokes shift. When the light with the wave band of lambda 1 is used for excitation, the wave band of the emitted light of the long afterglow luminescence lambda 2 is flexibly distributed, and the long afterglow luminescence can cover all the wave bands of ultraviolet visible near infrared. When the lambda 1 is less than the lambda 2, the light with the shorter wavelength is excited to realize the light emission with the longer wavelength, namely the wavelength of the excitation light is red-shifted than that of the emission light, and the light emitting device belongs to a conventional down-conversion light emitting mode; when the lambda 1 is more than lambda 2, the light with the longer wavelength is excited to realize the light emission with the shorter wavelength, namely the wavelength of the excitation light is blue-shifted than that of the emission light, and the light emission belongs to an up-conversion light emitting mode; when λ 1 is λ 2, i.e. the excitation light wavelength is in the same band as the emission light wavelength, it belongs to the light emission mode with zero stokes shift.
Various light sources may be used to energize the long persistence luminescent materials of the present invention. Common light source lighting equipment, point light sources, annular light sources and indoor and outdoor natural illumination can excite and charge the long afterglow luminescent agent system based on a photochemical mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, the light sources include solid-state lasers, gas lasers, semiconductor lasers, photodiodes, D65 standard light sources, organic light emitting diodes, ultraviolet lamps, flashlights, xenon lamps, sodium lamps, mercury lamps, tungsten filament lamps, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and natural sunlight, and combinations thereof. In a more preferable scheme, a laser and a light emitting diode are used as excitation light sources, the monochromaticity and the brightness of output light of the light sources are high, the energy charging can be selectively and rapidly excited, and in practical application, the light emitted by the light sources can be focused, divergent, annular and collimated light beams. The light output intensity of the excitation light source can have a wide range of power densities (1 μ W cm)-2–1000W cm -2) The excitation time also has a wide dynamic range (1 mus-1 h). In addition, the excitation light output by the light source may be continuous light, pulsed light, or an output mode of a combined mode, where the pulsed light is modulatable and has a wide modulation frequency range (0.001 Hz-100 KHz). In an advantageous embodiment, the required excitation time of the ultra-bright long-afterglow luminescent material according to the invention is short, and the irradiation time of the excitation light is 0.1s to 100s, preferably 0.5s to 60s, more preferably 1s to 30s, and most preferably 2s to 10 s.
In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a probe comprising the above long persistence luminescent organic microsphere. The probe comprises the long afterglow luminescent organic microsphere and the antibody or the aptamer loaded or coupled on the long afterglow luminescent organic microsphere.
In an advantageous embodiment, the antibody or aptamer is preferably present in the probe in an amount of 1% to 20%, more preferably 2% to 15%, and most preferably 5% to 12% by mass of the entire probe.
Suitable antibodies or aptamers are not, in theory, particularly limited. Preferably they are capable of specific immunological binding to an antigen of interest to be detected, including mycotoxins, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, inflammatory factors or tumour markers, preferably selected from C-reactive protein (CRP) antibodies, serum amyloid (SAA) antibodies, Procalcitonin (PCT) antibodies, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) antibodies, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibodies, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) antibodies, cardiac troponin (CTn-I) antibodies and/or oligonucleotide fragments.
In a third aspect, the present invention relates to a method for preparing the long afterglow luminescent organic microsphere, which comprises the following steps:
(1) providing components A) to C); and
(2) the components A) to C) are dispersed and adsorbed onto the support medium component D) in a dispersion or solution.
Here, it may be advantageous to first mix the components a) to C) with one another and then disperse or dissolve them in a suitable solvent, or to disperse or dissolve the components a) to C) in succession in a suitable solvent, to form a solution. Suitable solvents are not particularly limited as long as they form a stable solution or dispersion, and may be, for example, liquid paraffin, a mixture of phenethyl alcohol-ethylene glycol and water, a mixture of mesitylene and ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, or the like.
After the solution or dispersion comprising components a) to C) is obtained, the support medium microspheres or a solution or dispersion thereof may be added thereto. Alternatively, the solution or dispersion comprising components a) to C) may also be added to the solution or dispersion comprising microspheres of the support medium. The carrier medium may be dispersed with water or other suitable solvent, such as deionized water, Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS), Borate Buffered Saline (BBS), and the like.
In the preparation of the solution or dispersion, if necessary, an auxiliary device such as an ultrasonic wave, a high-pressure homogenizer, or the like may be used, or appropriate heating may be performed with stirring.
After the stable dispersion of the long-lasting luminescent organic microspheres comprising the components A) to D) is obtained in the step (2), the stable dispersion can be directly utilized for subsequent use without treatment as required, such as for preparing test paper suitable for immunoassay. Alternatively, an antibody or aptamer may be further adsorbed or modified on the resulting microsphere, thereby obtaining a probe according to the present invention.
The preparation of the probes is known per se or can be obtained by a person skilled in the art with slight modifications according to known techniques. The preparation method mainly comprises the step of carrying out biological coupling on the long-afterglow luminescent microspheres and the antibody or the aptamer through functional reactive groups such as carboxyl, amino and aldehyde groups. For example, the coupling may be formed by a carboxyl-amino reaction or an aldehyde-amino reaction. Generally, the corresponding coupling method is selected according to the condition of the functional groups on the surface of the microsphere.
Accordingly, a fourth aspect of the present invention relates to a method for producing the probe as described above.
In a fifth aspect, the present invention provides a test strip for immunochromatography detection comprising the long-lasting luminescent organic microsphere or the probe as described above. The test paper comprises a sample pad, a combination pad, a test line and a quality control line, wherein the long afterglow luminescent organic microsphere or the probe is arranged on the combination pad.
The structure of test strips used in immunochromatographic detection techniques is known per se. The bonding pad, the test line and the quality control line can be attached to a base plate, such as a PVC base plate. For the structure of such a test strip, reference may be made to, for example, patent document CN105929155A, which is disclosed herein and incorporated herein in its entirety.
In one exemplary structure as shown in fig. 3, the test paper comprises a PVC base plate 1, a sample pad 2, a binding pad 3, a nitrocellulose membrane 4 and a water absorbent pad 5 are sequentially disposed on the base plate 1, wherein a test line 6 and a quality control line 7 are sequentially disposed on the nitrocellulose membrane 4 along a direction from the sample pad 2 to the water absorbent pad 5.
The immunochromatography technology mainly comprises double-antibody sandwich and competition method. The double-antibody sandwich method is mainly used for detecting macromolecular substances such as proteins and the like, such as tumor markers, viruses, inflammatory factors and the like. These detection methods are known per se. In an exemplary embodiment, the method uses a pair of paired antibodies directed to different epitopes of antigen, the capture antibody is fixed on the T line of NC membrane, the detection antibody coupling modified nano-probe is fixed on the binding pad, and the secondary goat-anti-mouse (or donkey-anti-mouse, goat-anti-rabbit, rabbit-anti-mouse, etc.) antibody is fixed on the C line of NC membrane as quality control line. In the detection process, a sample is dripped on the sample pad, the sample flows from left to right through capillary action and sequentially passes through the combination pad, and the T line and the C line generate specific immunoreaction. The competition method is mainly used for detecting the small molecular substances. In the method, for example, a whole antigen (a coupling product of a small molecule and a macromolecule) can be fixed on an NC membrane to form a T line, an antibody coupling modified nano probe is fixed on a binding pad, and a goat anti-mouse (or donkey anti-mouse, goat anti-rabbit, rabbit anti-mouse and the like) secondary antibody is used as a C line. In the detection process, a sample is dripped on the sample pad and sequentially passes through the combination pad, the T line and the C line through capillary action, and the antigen fixed on the T line can be competitively combined with the free antigen and the antibody in the sample.
Finally, the invention also relates to a method for immunochromatographic detection, which comprises the following steps:
(1) providing the organic microsphere or the probe or the test paper with long afterglow luminescence;
(2) irradiating the organic microspheres or the probes or the test paper with exciting light; and
(3) stopping irradiation, and reading a light emitting signal.
Compared with similar technology such as CN105929155A which adopts inorganic long afterglow material, the immunochromatography detection method of the invention has more advantages. First, the excitation wavelength is more widely selectable, including the wavelength range of ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. Secondly, the absorption cross section of the long-lasting phosphor microsphere is larger by several orders of magnitude, which enables the time for charging energy by light irradiation to be shorter, such as 2 s-10 s is the most preferable. In addition, the long-afterglow luminescent microspheres have higher long-afterglow luminescent brightness which exceeds the macroscopic brightness level, and the selectable detection equipment is more common. Preferably, the instrument for reading the luminescence signal in the detection is a mobile phone, a luminescence imaging system, a professional long afterglow luminescence detection device, and the like. More preferably, the detection device is a common commercial mobile phone, and is provided with software for reading signals, so that data analysis of signal intensity can be performed on pictures taken by the mobile phone.
